“…Evaluating the urban environment is crucial to addressing challenges such as urban flooding and disparities in access to green space. Improving forest management is essential to addressing the effects of climate change, such as the urban heat island effect [50].…”

Developing models for land use and land cover (LULC) and monitoring changes through predictive scenarios is crucial for supporting urban development strategies and improving our understanding of urban dynamics. Analysis of urban growth patterns based on LULC data from remote sensing using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) provides valuable insights into LULC changes. The CA-Markov model was used to predict LULC changes based on maps for 2012 and 2023, derived from satellite imagery using the maximum likelihood method, with an accuracy of 93% and 94% for each map. Analysis of urban growth patterns in Sabang City from 2013 to 2021 shows that the expansion of the built-up area is mainly driven by the conversion of bareland around the city center, with a 67% expansion pattern, 1% infilling pattern, and 16% outlying pattern. In Scenario 1, the growth of the built-up area in the city center is not significant, while in Scenario 2, the built-up area is projected to increase by 32 hectares to 742.6428 hectares by 2032. The urban growth pattern aligns better with Scenario 2, which emphasizes land conservation for forests and water bodies to preserve the highest carbon reserves from LULC changes.

“…Sabang and its surrounding area are part of the Weh National Strategic Tourism Area, known as a unique natural tourist destination where both the sea and land can be enjoyed on one small island (Government Regulation No. 50,2011). It also serves as the zero (0) kilometer point of Indonesia.…”

Les Index de nature urbaine : cadre méthodologique et indicateurs clés

L’Alliance urbaine de l’UICN, une large coalition d’entités constitutives de l’UICN concernées par les dimensions urbaines de la conservation de la nature, a dévoilé un nouvel produit de connaissance pour mesurer la performance écologique des villes : les Index de nature urbaine de l’UICN (en anglais « Urban Nature Indexes » ou INU). Composé de six thèmes et de cinq « sujets indicateurs » imbriqués dans chaque thème, les INU ont pour but d’aider les décideurs politiques, les parties prenantes et les communautés locales à comprendre leur impact sur la nature, à fixer des objectifs d’amélioration fondés sur la science et à suivre les progrès réalisés à l’aide de mesures scientifiques. En renforçant la transparence et la responsabilité environnementales, et en se concentrant sur l’amélioration plutôt que sur des objectifs fixes, les INU visent à catalyser l’action locale en faveur de la nature dans toutes les villes.

La Alianza Urbana de la UICN, una amplia coalición de Miembros de la UICN preocupados por las dimensiones urbanas de la conservación de la naturaleza, ha presentado un nuevo producto de conocimiento para medir el desempeño ecológico de las ciudades: los Índices de Naturaleza Urbana (INU) de la UICN. El INU, compuesto por seis temas con cinco temáticas anidadas en cada tema, una para cada indicador, pretende ayudar a los responsables de la formulación de políticas, a las partes interesadas y a las comunidades locales a comprender su impacto en la naturaleza, establecer objetivos de mejora basados en la ciencia y supervisar los avances utilizando, también, medidas basadas en la ciencia. Al aumentar la transparencia y la responsabilidad medioambientales, y al centrarse en la mejora más que en metas fijas, el INU busca catalizar la acción local en favor de la naturaleza en todas las ciudades.
